The World’s Most Advanced Image Stabilization

The new OM-D E-M5 Mark II features the most sophisticated image stabilization technology ever offered in an interchangeable lens camera.* The ultra-sensitive 5-axis VCM (voice coil motor) system is so responsive and accurate, you can shoot sharp images in low light and capture silky smooth video, hand-held without a tripod. And because the IS system is in the body of the camera, you’ll get blur-free results regardless of which lens you use.

*Based on compensation performance equivalent to 5 shutter speed steps as of February 5, 2015

This is an AMAZING camera. I was working at a photography store and was able to try out the OM-D 5, OM-D 1, OM-D 5 MKII and the OM-D 1 MKII but had decided that this was a good starting point for me to get into Olympus with my own camera. I had the Nikon D90 so to me this was an amazing step in the right direction. I know that I will be part of this amazing family for a very long time.

Absolutely Outstanding Camera

I made the jump from a major DSLR brand to this camera. I have no regrets and doubt I ever will. The customization that is available is absolutely incredible from function buttons, built in stabilization, lightweight, weather sealed... I would keep going, but this would turn into a novel singing the praises of Olympus and the E-M5 Mark II

Great camera with lots of useful features.

Great camera with lots of useful features. Image quality, weather sealing, in-camera options (Live Composite, for example), great IBIS, all in a small package. Add the grip for better "feel" with larger lenses like the 40-150/2.8 and the 300/4. Leave the grip off for a perfect small travel kit with the 17/1.8 and 45/1.8. Use the 14-150 for a "superzoom" that tops any superzoom out there.

I've been using my OMD E-M5ii for a little over a year now. I purchased the camera because of its reputation for ruggedness, weather proof construction and light construction because my favorite activities are outdoors in all kinds of weather. I've used it in rain, snow and below zero temperatures and it has proven to be reliable without a fault. Olympus has created an incredibly powerful system with it's specialized programmable features that can be assigned to the function buttons. They make it easy for me to switch from macro settings to wildlife settings on the go in inclement conditions. I don't think that there is another system on the market that meets my needs so well.

Going from the E-M10 Mark I and then Mark II to this bad boy was a leap I’m glad I made. While the E-M10 is a wonderful camera and one of my all time favorites, the E-M5 Mark II is simply a more powerful tool while retaining the compactness we’ve come to appreciate from Olympus and m4/3. It has all the features I wanted and many I didn’t know I’d need. I’m still, after close to a year and a half of owning it, finding something new that helps me be a better photographer. I recommend the grips with the extra battery as an add-on.

Coming from a Nikon DSLR, I love this thing. I find myself much more willing to carry it and bring it around everywhere I go. It also does everything I need it to and more. For my purposes this is the perfect camera.
The only drawback is not having 4k video. The video it does produce is still great quality as long as you are not relying on the on-board microphone.

Smile!

You know, if they offered me a second camera now, I would choose this one. Seriously, if you do not need 4k video, which is still not perfect in quality and requires a lot of resources in recording, editing and viewing - then this device is now the best in the price-quality ratio. When you read advertising texts on the website about the camera, you think that this is just an advertisement. But in the case of this camera, it's just a literal description.
Until now, an actual and incredible camera for enthusiasts!
